Matt Jarrell, a painter at Excel, told CNN that Cedric Ford -- his co-worker and friend -- is the suspected shooter.

Do people REALLY still say "it can't happen here?"

I mean after a bunch of children are gunned down in their classroom, where is it exactly where gun violence cannot occur?

I guess we are supposed to be relieved that ONLY three people were killed by the gunman in this case, while an additional fourteen ONLY had their bodies torn apart by bullets, leaving them with terrible scars but still alive.

In America that is rapidly become the "best case scenario."

And of course this story will only receive temporary media attention because the shooter was not a terrorist, and therefore not exciting enough to waste too much airtime to cover.

From what I have heard this man, Cedric Ford, was served with a protection order by his girlfriend and that seems to have been the trigger.

He used an automatic weapon to do the shooting, but also had a handgun in his possession as well.

I don't know yet whether the weapons were legally obtained, but they probably were.

But don't worry folks we will stop hearing about this story probably by as early as tomorrow morning, Just in time to make room for the next horrific shooting to take its place.

And....family murdered in WA state today by the father. 5 dead. Doesn't take long, eh, to continue the slaughter of innocent people because everyone can have guns anywhere, anytime, any place. Disgusting!

I only heard about this online-not a peep on TV. The "news" channels are too busy waiting for TRump to call in for some free advertising to report actual news, especially that tired old thing about somebody shooting somebody. Thetrace.org is a nonprofit keeping track of and reporting on the gun epidemic here in good old Murika. I highly recommend it.

I heard this screaming lunatic give a quickie lick up Palin's rear end cavity.

All he could say was a faster than lightening... she is a amazing. Before he got to the dude he was actually evangelically interested in. An evangelical pastor who he could use for votes and not have to bother with the embarrassing irrelevant skank.

Skank can go back to pushing her love affair with every thing gun nuts. Baby Sailor Grace is going to need to start packing, you never know when she will have to protect herself from all the gun safety all over the places she exists.

A friend and I were listening to an recording of the radio mystery "Mr. Keene, Tracer of Lost Persons," (a big hit in the 30s and 40s). She had a relative who had played Sgt. Clancey. Keene's sidekick.In one of the dramatic moments in the show, Keene yells at Mike "Watch out, Mike! He's got a gun!"

That was when guns were still mostly in the possession of criminals. Think Bonnie and Clyde, not the guy who's hadfestering resentments and anger about how the world was treating him, and went out as a "cop suicide," taking several innocent people with him.

Don't pin it on Gryph. He gives his readers what they want. I stand by my suggestion that he has a Palin open thread every day, let them hang there, and the rest of us can discuss matters important to him.

Personally, I dislike sarcasm. And 10:07 there's not much of a stretch to directly connect the Palins, as well as Dakota Meyer, to the uneducated, knee-jerk, idjits who have fomented the distorted gun culture in this country. FFS.

This one hit too close to home. I have cousins in that part of Kansas. I called to make sure they were alright, thinking they would be nothing more than shaken by the community's tragedy. I was told that five family members had worked the first shift at Excel. They had gone home by the time the shooting happened, so their lives and bodies were spared by the random scheduling. At the rate mass shootings are occurring in the US, sooner or later we will all be affected the six degrees of 2nd Amendment separation.

Don't worry starting next semester, students on college campuses in certain states can pack heat, too.University of Texas at Austin will be one of the campuses. Professors have been alerted by the dean that they should curtail their techings to topics that are 'safe' and noncontroversial, and that they should only meet students during special designated times outside of their classrooms. No more random meetings, no more talking about anything that could upset anyone, because anyone now will be able to carry openly as well as concealed.Talking about infringing on teaching... There are already fallouts from this new law - future students are declining to enroll, and some professors already have handed in their resignations....
